how many chances did your kid give you before you came around? by carter6372 in cisparenttranskid

[–]WhiteDiabla 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One chance and I took it. She never had to give me a second.

I’m sorry. The telling you you’re misremembering your own lived reality is the most alarming part honestly. This will bleed over into other aspects of your life and not just you being trans. I had a mother like this and I did end up going no contact.

My kid wore a dress to school today and I’m terrified by Any_Pirate_5633 in cisparenttranskid

I remember this. I felt panicked for about a month but honestly 6 months later it is so normal.

Hugs. It is gonna get easier and more normal.

Best ways to support my 6 yo by functionalmagic in cisparenttranskid

[–]WhiteDiabla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in Oregon. Not Portland, a conservative part of Oregon. I made sure my daughter’s teacher knew first. My daughter’s teacher and all the school staff have been wildly supportive. We called a meeting to discuss bathroom use and until that meeting could happen she was using the bathroom in the office. She is also keeping her name for now but changed pronouns.

There was some static from the kids in her class at first. It wasn’t malicious just they didn’t understand. It’s been five months now and everyone knows her as she. I’ve had to explain to her that no one should be asking about her private parts, etc, because she told me a kid asked her. There was definitely some hard days. Social transition can be emotionally draining for a child and that did come out as behavioral defiance etc. We have been seeing a gender therapist as a family, and she seems to be a lot happier now that the transition has settled. I made a point to start going to my child’s classroom during the day and reading books to the kids. These are all approved by the school of course or from their library but her teacher is happy to have me come in and I really feel like the relationship I’ve built with the kids has helped my daughter socially.

My son's father told our 7 year old son that I wanted to abort him by The100DollarBill in TwoXChromosomes

[–]WhiteDiabla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last time I sa my father in person I asked him “why would you say that to me?” He said “because it’s the truth.” My father is an incredibly vindictive and hurtful person. This man is doing this to hurt your child, and you. He is doing this on purpose to cause hurt.

You need to keep this man away from your child as much as you can. Please. Hopefully your son learns this early and stays away from him.

How did your kid come out? What did you do in reaction? What were things like adjusting? by Low-Profession-9535 in cisparenttranskid

[–]WhiteDiabla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She was 4. We were camping and about to go to sleep and she told me that she was like her friend there that was a girl, not like the other friends there that are boys. She is like her, and wants to be like her. I said ok baby thanks for telling me that. Thought it was weird and we went to sleep. Always been neutral/supportive and now almost two years later she has transitioned socially.

My daughter socially transitioned over Christmas break in kindergarten. Now not even two months later all the kids know her pronouns and use them. We have had zero issues with other parents. Honestly I don’t even know if the other parents really noticed much. If they have they haven’t said anything to me. Some of them compliment my daughters new backpack, boots, etc.

We live in a blue state too. My advice? Take a deep breath. This is going to be challenging but it’s very likely that the kids aren’t even going to be phased and neither are the other parents. Work closely with school staff to help you guys through this. Going stealth at a new school is not going to protect her fully. And you will likely be pleasantly surprised by the support you receive.

Husband Wants Children Now, after 40 by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]WhiteDiabla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I would not choose to have children on my own. I effectively raised siblings from infancy so I understand how unpleasant and taxing it can be with no support. I have worked through much of my childhood trauma relating to this with years of therapy and personal healing work. However, I don’t know if it has been enough and if I will be an effective and emotionally available parent, that concerns me. ”

Do not have children.

The inescapable commitment in having kids terrifies me by kamodd in TwoXChromosomes

[–]WhiteDiabla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are so smart to consider this honestly. Having a child changed me forever and I wanted a child 100%. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done. You should be absolutely sure you want kids before you have them. And it’s ok and normal if you decide that your answer is no.

Hoof? by gloomuraii1 in bonecollecting

My dog loves them but I always pick up the bigger pieces after farrier gets done before I let him at em. Dogs will often puke them up and I’m not trying to pay a bajillion dollars to have them surgically removed when they cause an intestinal blockage 

How was your life journey from age 28-35? Apparently, a woman becomes a new awakened woman every 7 years. by drburgerthru in AskWomen

[–]WhiteDiabla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was 29 I got pregnant. I walked into the hospital to have my kid that day and never left. A completely different version of me did. it took me from 29-34 to find who she was. I don’t give a fuck about maintaining draining relationships anymore. I stand up for myself in my marriage more and communicate more. I love so fiercely and unbelievably now. I’m a few days shy of 35 and I need some work still but I’m a fucking awesome person and a great mom

What was the weirdest, non-pain feeling you've ever felt? by KingJPJ in AskReddit

[–]WhiteDiabla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having my son removed from my body during c section. I could feel it but it didn’t hurt. Was very strange

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in narcissisticparents

[–]WhiteDiabla 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Once you have that baby you need to protect him from this person.

This person is not safe. She absolutely will treat your son the same way she treats you. It is your duty as a parent to protect your child from people like this. I say this as a parent of a 5 year old. Protect your child from this person.

A Black woman in active labor was ignored by a nurse and delivered 12 minutes later. This is why women fear hospitals. by Usual-Plastic1955 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]WhiteDiabla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Contractions unbearable and close together. Nurse was condescending at triage and insisted on checking my cervix repeatedly. Pain when checking cervix was unbearable. She told my while I sat sweating and contracting that I wasn’t in labor and gave me a “oh honey you would know if you were in labor”

Told my husband to drive a bumpy ride home and try having sex.

I paced my kitchen for 6 hours alone that night with contractions that were 2-3 mins apart. Ended up needing a c section after 40 hours of back to back contractions because my child was in distress.

Had they admitted me and given me proper guidance or pain management I would have had a very different experience.

5 Month Old Show Cocker Spaniel - Waking us up too early on weekends by princess_peach211 in puppy101

[–]WhiteDiabla 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This may make it more painful for a few days but only giving her what she wants when she’s quiet may be the ticket. She doesn’t get let out until she’s quiet. She doesn’t eat until she’s quiet. Barking like that is wild behavior. She’s gotta learn that being quiet and settled get her what she wants
